While a call-to-action seems like a small item, it can be the difference between getting your readers to actively engage with you or your brand. Tell them what to do, give them a link, a button, a box, an address or a number to make it easy. The best advice is to make it obvious and easy for your potential customer to take action the instant that your message catches their attention. Otherwise, they may be lost forever.
